There was a problem hiding this comment.
This is a little tricky, as this supposes we never use format as an alias for something else which is not string interpolation. E.g., we could have a "format" function which does some other kind of formatting and does not operate on a formatting string, and devs will get spurious lint errors.

Description
This pull request:
no-restricted-syntaxESLint entry which disallows callingformat(fromstring/format) with a single string literal containing no interpolation placeholders (e.g.,format( 'invalid argument. Third argument must not be an empty string.' )), as such calls are unnecessary overhead and the string can be used directlyformatcall and removingformatrequires which became unusedNote that single-argument calls whose string contains
%(e.g.,%%escapes) remain allowed, as those do perform work.This should help with AI agents or humans adding
formatfor strings where it is not needed.Related Issues
